Pete Caswell’s Paintings For Sale, Style and Brush Strokes.

 

Pete Caswell’s paintings for sale are big and bold and full of colourful brush strokes. Most of the oil paintings are of a vibrant and bold impressionist style, emerging out of a sea of colourful strokes, dabs and lines. Sometimes only a colourful thin line, others thick and broad, laid as buttery paint onto the canvas or partly obscuring another stroke. This vibrant colourful layering creates a dance of colours on the canvas as they mix together in your eye to form the final image. They add an atmosphere of vibrant colourful light and joy to any room.

 

 

 

 

“I hope the sense of joy is imbued in the paintings I have created for you to enjoy. They are for sale but you don’t have to buy one. Just enjoy.”

Some paintings are lavishly layered with thick butter like brush stroke of pure colour giving a superb texture. Some paintings have sub layers of texture over which a picture is painted. Other paintings are painted onto a smooth canvas/board allowing one colour to be laid thinly over another and the image etched back out of the painting. This technique works wonderfully with images of water laid over the sand, reflections and complex images of flowers.

 

Look at the bold placing of pure vibrant colour and the interlayering of brush strokes. One colour over another. Quite beautiful, vibrant and colourful. This layering of colour and compilation of colours and brush strokes leads to a more complex image which is more interesting to the eye. It makes for a brighter and more appealing painting which will hold the viewers interest for much longer. In some images it can take a while to see all that is hidden amongst the colours and quite often you can see things that I have yet to see.

 

The paintings are all about joy, pleasure, pure happiness, an expression of joy. There are no miserable bits, no exploring a hidden dark side or repressed childhood.

 

“This is all about pure unadulterated joy in as much depth, concentration and exuberation as I can get to flow off the end of the brush. However I can achieve this, and through whatever medium and technique, this is the absolute and only target of the work. If my work doesn’t make you feel good, I’ll give you your money back.”

 

All the works are intuitively created into a mesmerizing blend of colour combinations which  fall off the brush and create onto the canvas an uplifting and captivating scene. This combination gives a moving and exciting feast for the eyes which will give you many years of interest and joy. The bigger the painting you can afford the better.

This combination of colours lifts the painting from a flat image to something which is more experiential by creating the image inside of the head instead of on the flat canvas. This gives a deeper and more interesting and stimulating image to look at.

John Henderson an art expert who lives nearby comments,

“Pete’s work is a wonderful collage of light flicks of paint placed in a beautiful style of complete freedom combined with series of broken lines, all combining to form the full image which can often take several seconds or minutes in some of the deeper paintings. The paintings are centred around a main primary colour backed by a series of balancing secondary complimenting colours. Pete is a colourist pure and simple and in a class of his own in freedom and style. . While he sometimes describes himself as an impressionist his work is beyond the realms of impressionism. I see qualities in his work which evoke feelings an atmospheres of many great artists, especially Kokoschka, but to pin any one name on his work would be missing the point. This work is of a quality an freedom that is rarely seen. My only advice is to buy these paintings while they remain affordable. They can only appreciate in value. Good Luck in your work”.
